I participated in the development of EVA

Therefore, this movie was the one that was played when he and Fuyutsuki Kana had their first date. It was just that the two were busy at that time and did not pay attention to what the movie was about. Feeling a little guilty, he subconsciously glanced at Ibuki Huimi, but was relieved when she did not notice anything unusual. Then he tried to suppress his embarrassment and looked away.

Only after the plot was over did he realize that he was the only one who saw it to the end. Ibuki Megumi and Ayanami Rei fell asleep at some point.

This plot... is indeed quite boring.

He commented in his mind.

If it didn't have a special meaning, he wouldn't have been able to hold on to the end.

I turned off the TV, went to the bathroom, and entered sage mode before falling asleep in tossing and turning.

The next day, Ayanami Rei woke up first, followed by Ibuki Megumi. It was not until they both washed up and changed their clothes that Ikari Fumihiko was woken up by Ibuki Megumi.

"Where did you get the movie that was shown last night? The plot was pretty boring."

It was a bit awkward to stare at Rei Ayanami, so Ibuki Huimi said something to make conversation.

Ikari Fumihiko said this casually, pretending to be careless.

"I was bored and wanted to find something to kill time, so I just brought back a few videotapes. I don't know what was on them."

He didn't dare tell the real truth. He went to the warehouse to get these videotapes just to find a reason to invite Fuyutsuki Kana to his dormitory.

238. The next chapter will be later. I am too tired to do this. I need to take a rest.

Ibuki Huimi was just casually finding a topic to talk about, but she noticed an unnatural look flash across Ikari Fumihiko's face.

A woman's intuition makes her feel that it contains stories she doesn't want to know.

Realizing this, she did not ask or make any attempts, but simply urged Ikari Fumihiko to move faster.

"Don't waste time, hurry up, you can't be late again today."

Because she knew without asking that the hidden story must be that Fumihiko Ikari and Kana Fuyutsuki watched this movie together, and did some human reproduction things while watching the movie.

Ikari Fumihiko responded with a lack of confidence.

"Ah."

After he finished washing up, the three of them walked out of the dormitory but did not go to the cafeteria.

"Don't you want to have breakfast first?"

Ibuki Huimi glanced at Ayanami Rei.

"I was careless yesterday and forgot to prepare a change of clothes for her."

"I didn't prepare any change of clothes..."

After repeating this sentence subconsciously, Fumihiko Ikari was stunned for a moment. Ayanami Rei was only wearing pajamas last night.

Uh--

The underwear he changed out of last night was still in the basket when he washed up in the morning, which meant it was also empty now! ?

Realizing this, he immediately shut his mouth.

At the same time, I glanced at Ayanami Rei, and fortunately she was not wearing a skirt that could easily expose her body.

"She's wearing mine now, just to make do."

Ikari Fumihiko said nothing this time.

Arriving at the Ayanami project team, while Rei Ayanami was changing clothes, Fumihiko Ikari decided to stay here today to finish what he hadn't finished yesterday.

"You two can go eat later."

Ibuki Huimei frowned.

"You're not an expert in this area, so you won't be able to help much if you stay here, right?"

Although it doesn't matter whether Fumihiko Ikari is in the Unit-00 project team or not, she personally still hopes that Fumihiko Ikari can stay under her nose.

It’s not that I’m worried that Ikari Fumihiko is cheating on me behind my back, it’s just that we just confirmed our relationship not long ago and are in the passionate stage so naturally I want to stick together every moment.

Ikari Fumihiko shook his head and gave a vague explanation.

"It's not that. I have other things to deal with here."

Seeing his expression, Ibuki Huimi knew that this involved a secret that she could not know, so she did not ask any further questions, but just asked a question.

“Can you finish it today?”

Although there are 500 clones, they are in different stages due to different batches. In fact, most of them do not need to be modified.

However, he felt that since he had already decided to do it, he should naturally do it to the end and not just muddle through.

"It may take some time, I don't know exactly."

After a pause, he added.

"I'll take care of things here as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Ibuki Huimi responded, and at the same time she was wondering in her heart what Ikari Fumihiko was staying here to deal with.

Use other clones to verify whether LCL deficiency has any impact on Rei Ayanami?

Combining what she knew and her speculation about Rei Ayanami's identity, this was the only answer she could think of. She immediately rejected the idea. Having been with Fumihiko Ikari for such a long time, and even now that they had become boyfriend and girlfriend, she knew quite a lot about him, and she knew in her heart that Fumihiko Ikari would not do such a thing with his character.

maybe……

He may have been forced by higher-ups.

Thinking of this, I subconsciously looked at Ikari Fumihiko carefully, and did not feel any displeasure, and it did not look like he was being forced.

This made her completely reject the guess in her heart, and...

Gave up thinking.

Her past experiences made her realize one thing clearly: her ordinary brain could not keep up with Ikari Fumihiko's novel train of thought.

I gave up thinking, but a strange idea suddenly popped up in my mind.

Is he staying here to make clothes for the clones? ?

Although this idea was outrageous, combined with what Fumihiko Ikari had done in the past, the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. She had this idea naturally because she did not know that there was a parallel connection of consciousness between the Lingbo clones. She was just using her own cognition to understand the cloning technology in the hands of the organization.

In her opinion, each clone has self-awareness, just like the current Rei Ayanami.

She subconsciously looked around, and at this moment she felt that there were dozens or even hundreds of Ayanami Rei living in an area of ​​the Lingbo project team that outsiders could not approach.

At the same time, this is also the biggest gap between her and Rei Ayanami.

She didn't know whether the Rei Ayanami she met every day was another clone or the same Rei Ayanami as before.

Ikari Fumihiko was unaware of the thoughts that flashed through Ibuki Huimi's mind, and he just gave some instructions on the spot.

"By the way, remember to have someone bring me food."

"Ah."

Ibuki Huimi, whose thoughts were in a mess, reacted a little slowly, but Ikari Fumihiko didn't care and turned away, walking towards the incubator.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Ueno Kiriha sitting on the hospital bed, staring at the scissors in her hand in a daze. Although her body was still thin, her complexion seemed much better. She looked like a ghost yesterday, but today she looked more like a human. There was a little light in her dim eyes. The scissors in her hand were not the same ones from yesterday, but an old pair of scissors specially used for cutting hair.

The other party's posture seemed to be obviously waiting for him, so he asked for the sake of conversation.

"Are you waiting for me?"

"Ah."

Fumihiko Ikari was a little curious.

"What if I don't come?"

"You will definitely come."

Ueno Kiriha's tone was very firm. Ikari Fumihiko wanted to ask more questions, but when he saw that the other party had no intention of explaining, he gave up and asked an irrelevant question instead.

"You look better."

"I used the medical bay yesterday."

Although lcl has the risk of causing epilepsy, this is only for people who use it for a long time. Occasionally using it will not have any effect, so no one said much about it. Considering the physical condition of Ueno Kiriha, traditional conditioning methods would take at least one or two months, or even half a year, while using lcl would only take about a week to recover.

The two didn't say anything more after that. Just like yesterday, Ueno Kiriha was responsible for debugging the equipment and trimming hair, while Ikari Fumihiko was responsible for carrying and trimming fingernails.

In the morning, Fumihiko Ikari was full of energy, but in the afternoon he was so tired that he started to think about whether he should use a rail crane to assist him in moving the goods.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Ueno Kiriha spoke up.

"Hold on a little longer, there will only be two or three left in this batch, and the remaining sixty-seven will only be five or six years old, and the ones after that will only be two or three years old, so there is no need to take care of them for the time being."

After hearing this, Fumihiko Ikari subconsciously observed and found that the clones in the incubation device behind were indeed much smaller.

Apparently, after the first batch of clones of Rei Ayanami were completed, two more batches were cloned after a period of time.

239. I said, I didn’t do anything yesterday, why am I so tired?

Ikari Fumihiko gritted his teeth and persisted, and at the same time took the opportunity to ask the doubts in his heart.

"Why did you clone so many of them?"

Ueno Kiriha hesitated for a moment, but finally opened his mouth to explain.

"Verify whether the parallel connection of consciousness can be shielded, create a second main body, and prepare enough backups. According to the situation at the time, each clone only had a lifespan of a few years. Taking into account the screening criteria for EVA pilots, it would only be about one year. If calculated at cost price..." She paused here, she didn't know what words to use to describe it.

At the same time, there is another sentence that is not said. In addition to ensuring that the clones are always in peak condition, there is also the possibility of using clones to explore EVA driving. No... To be precise, it should be the method of breeding the second generation of clones. The Ayanami series of clones is a defective product. It is not that the cells divide too quickly, but that the individual consciousness is too little.

Drivers cannot be provided in bulk.

Ikari Fumihiko knew that the other party was hiding something, so he didn't ask any further questions.

If you can talk, the other party won't stop.

Ueno Kiriha looked back at the clones behind him whose hair and nails had been trimmed, and the original plan flashed through his mind.

After the clone reaches its expiration date, it will become a human uterus.

Just like breeding livestock, the second generation of clones were bred through artificial insemination. However, this plan was permanently stopped before it was implemented, and all files were deleted. Only she and other project participants had relevant records in their minds. Of course, there are other second-generation clone research and development projects besides this. As far as she knows, one of them is a plan to cultivate second-generation clones through organ transplantation.

She also didn't know whether those projects had been stopped.

It's not that she doesn't care, but that she doesn't have the ability. Otherwise, she wouldn't torture herself by going on a hunger strike out of self-blame.

The two stopped talking and their subsequent actions became faster. Because the cloned bodies had shrunk from their teens to the age of six or seven, these cloned bodies were petite and slightly thin, weighing only about thirty kilograms. In addition, the length of their nails did not need to be deliberately trimmed, and their hair was not that exaggerated, so it was easier to groom them.

In this way, Ikari Fumihiko would come to the incubation room during the day to trim the hair of the clones with Ueno Kiriha, and go back at night to face Ibuki Megumi and Ayanami Rei who were staring at each other.

This kind of days lasted for three days.

"It's been three days. Should Li receive treatment today?"

Starting from the next day, when it was almost time to get off work, Ibuki Huimi would call him to ask him this question.

"Ah."

Ikari Fumihiko responded.

In fact, Rei Ayanami's genes are relatively stable now, so she does not need to receive treatment so frequently, especially when she does EVA training in the morning. She only needs to receive treatment once every half a month. If she returns to full-day training, she can receive treatment once a month. Soaking in LCL liquid during training can also relieve the symptoms to some extent.

Now put it this way…

Well, he was feeling a little uncomfortable, but besides that he just wanted to ease the tension between the two of them.

"Then I'll wait and take her to the medical room."

"Ah."

Ikari Fumihiko didn't know what to say, so he just responded again.

Ibuki Huimi was afraid that Ikari Fumihiko would go back on his word, so she left work early and sent Rei Ayanami back to the medical cabin. She was completely relieved only when she saw her lying in hibernation in the LCL. It was too tiring to have Rei Ayanami by her side for the past three days and to keep up appearances in order to maintain her image. She had to think about everything before doing it, which was more tiring than working for a whole day.

It was a night of passion and the next day Fumihiko Ikari could hardly get out of bed.

It took him a whole morning to recover some strength. When he came to the incubation room, he saw Ueno Kiriha busy alone. With the auxiliary treatment of LCL, Ueno Kiriha no longer had that exhausted feeling. Although he still looked a little thin, he was much better than four days ago. At least he looked like a normal human being.

Ikari Fumihiko is here now, but his soul is still trapped in the dormitory. He can only watch Ueno Kiriha busying herself.
